ford galaxy

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I was at home, you could have come up this way, people have managed it before now without oxygen and thermal pants. Oh well, you'll just have to visit the Anna Friel shrine next time you're in the UK. ;)

Isn't that in your spare bedroom?

I only ask for a donation towards costs. You do have to bear in mind how expensive it is to fly to India, plant some tea, wait for it to grow, pick it, dry it, fly back, etc, etc.
In hindsight it may be cheaper just to go to Tesco ;)

Take it the obvious like fluid level is ok? Possible air in the system which can cause a noise, or could be a worn pump.

all the time or just on full lock?
Once again, I can't remember the change over year but earlier cars have a fully mechanical system, later ones have an electrical connector on the PAS pump that raises the pressure at low speed. it is possible that yours is stuck in the wrong mode so is getting strained.
